Another report has claimed that Napoli have expressed an interest in signing Yunus Musah but they did not get very far with the AC Milan management.
According to Il Mattino (via MilanNews) this morning, the Napoli leadership are looking to follow up the acquisition of Alessandro Buongiorno with a full-back – Patrick Dorgu being the name that sticks out – and a central midfielder.
The sporting director Giovanni Manna has also reportedly asked Milan for information about Musah, as well as Frosinone for Marco Brescianini. Mason Greenwood has faded away as an objective for them, while it also seems complicated to get to Desire Douè from Rennes.
On Musah, the American does not appear to be considered as a sale candidate by Milan, where the new coach Paulo Fonseca is said to be keeping him in close consideration as one of the players to build around.
Last season, his first in Serie A, Musah made 40 appearances across all competitions and he played in various positions from central midfield to right-back, getting a lot of trust from Stefano Pioli considering his age.
This summer he was then rewarded with a call-up to the Copa America by coach Gregg Berhalter (then fired by the USA after the elimination), where he took to the field twice in the three group matches.
